Outside a train station near Tokyo, hundreds of people cheer as Sohei Kamiya, head of the surging nationalist party Sanseito, criticizes Japan’s rapidly growing foreign population.

As opponents, separated by uniformed police and bodyguards, accuse him of racism, Kamiya shouts back, saying he is only talking common sense.

Sanseito, while still a minor party, made big gains in July’s parliamentary election, and Kamiya’s “Japanese First” platform of anti-globalism, anti-immigration and anti-liberalism is gaining broader traction ahead of a ruling party vote Saturday that will choose the likely next prime minister.

      Pretty sure the user you’re replying to is a troll or a literal child. The rest of their conversations about this topic didn’t go much better.

      That’s so surface level, it’s basically insulting and doesn’t support the argument you’re making. It’s just some website saying random stuff that could or could not be true.
